White-tailed deer ­– the most abundant large mammal in North America – are harboring SARS-CoV-2 variants that once widely circulated but are no longer found in humans.

New vaccine design principles that are based on adjusting the structural location of an adjuvant and the antigen on a nanoscale vaccine have been shown to greatly increase cancer vaccine performance.

A new study employs genetic techniques to model ancient ancestors of modern-day organisms, enabling researchers to systematically experiment on different versions of bacteria and reveal possible evolutionary pathways.

The diversity of viroid and viroid-like circular RNAs across species has been revealed by metatranscriptome analysis.

A genomic study of a sustained, multidrug-resistant Shigellosis outbreak in Seattle enabled scientists to retrace its origin and spread.

New research has identified that a layer of CD4+ T cells around the central nervous system acts as a reservoir for HIV during antiviral therapy, enabling a "rebound" of the virus when the treatment is stopped.

The atlas is the largest study of single cells from Crohn’s patients to date, and contains the gene expression profiles of more than 700,000 cells from 71 healthy individuals and patients in varying states of inflammation.
